Mostar & Kravice Waterfalls: full-day tour from Split

Mostar's Old Bridge and three stops in one day, without arranging the border crossing yourself

A full-day guided tour from Split takes you across the Croatian border into Bosnia and Herzegovina to explore Mostar's atmospheric Old Town, the iconic Stari Most bridge, and the Kravice Waterfalls. The itinerary covers three destinations—the hillside town of Počitelj, Mostar's Old Bazaar and riverside landmarks, and the turquoise pools at Kravice—with a local English-speaking guide, air-conditioned transport and hotel pickup included. A valid passport is required; border crossing and waterfall entry fees are paid separately in cash at the meeting point.

The Experience

The day starts with a scenic drive across the border into Herzegovina, leaving the Dalmatian coast behind. Your first stop is Počitelj, a hillside town of stone streets and Ottoman architecture perched above the Neretva River—the views alone justify the climb. From there, the route continues to Mostar, where the guide walks you through the Old Town's narrow lanes and the famous Old Bazaar, then brings you to Stari Most, the 16th-century bridge that spans the emerald-green river and has become the symbol of the city's East-meets-West identity.

The afternoon shifts to the natural landscape. Kravice Waterfalls, surrounded by lush vegetation and fed by crystal-clear water, offers turquoise pools where you can swim when conditions allow—bring a towel and change of clothes if you plan to go in. The pools and the falls themselves are the kind of place where time slows down; most travelers spend the final hours here capturing photos or simply sitting by the water before the drive back to Split.

The tour runs 12 hours door-to-door, with an air-conditioned vehicle and a licensed guide who speaks English. Wifi is available on board. Infants can travel on an adult's lap, and the pace suits all fitness levels, though the Old Town involves walking uphill streets and uneven stone. You'll need a valid passport and any required visas presented to the office on departure day; the border crossing fee and the Kravice entry fee are both cash-only payments made at the meeting point, not included in the tour price.
